Both our children has attended JINGBAO™ Downtown since they were 18 - 20 month old. We do not speak any Mandarin at home but we strongly felt that it is the language that our kids should be exposed to. We love JINGBAO™ - the structured approach, the social and academical development and of course the fluency that our children have in Mandarin. When they play at home I hear them talk to each out in Mandarin, they sing songs and even talk in their sleep in Mandarin. We are extremely happy with the SMILE program as well - it allows us to keep the language even after we finished the JK/SK. I would highly recommend JINGBAO™ to anybody interested in quality child care and language development.

Lauren and Rachel have been at JINGBAO™ for over two and a half years. Enrolling them at JINGBAO™ is a decision we have never regretted, as we have seen them develop into bilingual young girls, easily transitioning between English and Mandarin. When they play together, they are often heard speaking only Mandarin.
In fact, one of their favourite games is to try to teach Mandarin to their non-Mandarin speaking parents. In addition to the language skills they have developed, we are also extremely impressed with the overall curriculum with its emphasis on Math, phonics, social skills and cultural education. The teachers at JINGBAO™ provide a warm, caring and enriching environment at the centre, which definitely helps our children realize their potential.

Our experience at JINGBAO™ has been excellent in every regard. We enrolled our daughter in 2014 when she was three years old. Being second-generation Chinese Canadians, it was important to us to expose our children to their heritage.
The teachers told us that after three months, we could expect our child to start speaking a few Chinese words. We were skeptical, but sure enough, she started to do this. By the end of the first year, her comprehension of Mandarin was excellent and she was able to say basic phrases and sing numerous classical Mandarin children’s songs. Her knowledge of the Chinese language increased even more dramatically over her second year at Jingbao. Today, she is completely bilingual and can read simple Chinese storybooks. Her younger brother is now also a student at the school and his Mandarin too is progressing very well.
The teachers at JINGBAO™ are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure that the children are stimulated intellectually, physically and emotionally. They take their jobs extremely seriously and their commitment to the students’ learning and development is unbelievable. As parents, we truly feel that enrolling our kids in Jingbao was the best decision we have ever made.

We became sure we have made a good decision choosing JINGBAO™ shortly after our son’s transfer there. He’s happy going in the morning and reluctant to leave JINGBAO™ at the end of the day. He loved his teachers and he made lots of friends. He progressed in all areas. He had much less cold in the winter because teachers made sure kids are kept warm going out. By the time he graduated from daycare, he spoke fluent Mandarin. He recognized up to 100 written words and he started to write. He is happy, active, sociable, independent and academically strong – everything I wished he could achieve in prep for elementary school.
Our second child came to JINGBAO™ at the earliest age they could take her. By then my daughter was still clumsy at walking and she cried a lot in the local daycare. JINGBAO™ practically became her second home. Shortly thereafter, she brightened up and became the sweetest happy girl. She was a very sensitive child who needed a lot of love and support, and we feel JINGBAO™ teachers provided the most essential thing she, or any toddler most needed.
We have no reservation to give our highest regards, appreciation and recommendations to this group of hardworking and caring teachers at JINGBAO™. We hope and we believe more kids will thrive and succeed in JINGBAO™ as our children do.

I've started studying Chinese at Toronto Mandarin School this year, and I've been very impressed with their high level of professionalism.
Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, and it feels like you're part of a family.
The teacher knows a lot about Chinese language and culture, and puts a lot of heart into teaching, and the way she explains everything is really great. She makes it very easy for me to understand and pick up the concepts.
Would definitely recommend!
